The 1.5-inch embroidered badges have Velcro on the back for attaching them to your jacket, backpack or whatever other fabric you want to decorate. Options include Mari Sheibley-designed badges "Local," "Superstar," "Crunked" and "Super Mayor" for $5.99 each.

Seller Nerd Merit Badges is also offering a 17-inch laptop sash with several badges so you can show off your location-aware cred at your next meeting or social media conference.

When we reported on the badges earlier this week, we were waiting to see if Foursquare would give Nerd Merit Badges the go-ahead to put them on sale. The photo below was apparently all it took to get the company's approval:

We also found this photo of the badges on a real live clothing item in an update from Nerd Merit Badges's Twitter account.
